Pages

So, lately to keep up the writing chops, I've been entering writing contests. Usually the kind that gives you perimeters (Genre, character, etc) and you have an amount of time to write, and turn it so many pages. I've done okay in the ones I've entered, I've always placed, but I've never moved on to the finals -- until now.

I'm pretty excited about this one. Here's the Link and there's my name (6th one down). There are so many aspects to this contest that I like, the mentoring, the script gets developed as the contest goes on, I'm really looking forward to it.

I haven't forgotten about The Collector. Sitting down with my VFX Sup we realized there's a ton more FX's than we originally thought. So we need to refigure the edit and shoot the green screen footage. Which also requires more money. Remind me of all this when I want to shoot another short with VFX in it - do it MINIMALLY!! And make sure the VFX signs off on the costume used for the green screen shoot, before it gets made -- yup, there's too much green in it. Godamnit!!
Live, learn, more on.

Anyway, I'll update on how the mentoring is going with the writing and how that contest susses out. Wish me luck!

About Me

A graduate of the infamous Second City conservatory program, and countless sketch comedy troupes under my belt I have been comedy’s bitch for as long as I can remember. I attended the underrated LACC film school, after I directed a multi-media production of one said troupes, and had no idea how to direct the filmed portion of my own show. That was when the light came on, directing is like I’m playing every character, and I don’t have to keep my hair looking the same as my head shots!! I stopped acting and jumped head long into the deep dark water of production.
